Local Existence for the Non-Resistive MHD Equations in Nearly Optimal Sobolev Spaces

Local Existence for the Non-Resistive MHD Equations in Nearly Optimal Sobolev Spaces

This paper establishes the local-in-time existence and uniqueness of solutions to the viscous, non-resistive magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d=2,3$, with initial data $B_0\in H^s(\mathbb{R}^d)$ and $u_0\in H^{s-1+\varepsilon}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ for $s>d/2$ and any $0<\varepsilon<1$. The proof relies on maximal regularity estimates for the Stokes equation. The obstruction to taking $\varepsilon=0$ is …
